Characterization of Hyaluronidase 4 Involved in the Catabolism of Chondroitin Sulfate
Hyaluronidases (HYALs) are endo-beta-<i>N</i>-acetylhexosaminidases that depolymerize not only hyaluronan but also chondroitin sulfate (CS) at the initial step of their catabolism. Although HYAL1 hydrolyzes both CS and HA, HYAL4 is a CS-specific endoglycosidase. The substrate specificity...
